Just a sidenote curiosity, talking about supported and not supported, I
noticed (by chance ;-)) that FPC also allows the use of C's operators <<
and >> (which I prefer over SHR and SHL), but makes me wonder of the
convenience of having these operators regarding compatibility.
Probably it was said or written in some documentation, or I am
completely mislead and this is a Delphi feature (or perhaps there's a
switch to compile in pure BorlandPascal).
